Hi all. My brother was diagnosed just yesterday with oral cancer. We don't know how far along it is or how serious yet. Praying so hard that he will get through it ok. Scared as hell, just looking for some information and support.

Hi - welcome! Hopefully your brother is being seen at a ccc - if he isn't suggest he get to one. That's where he'll receive the best treatment possible - and that will off him the best chance at walking away from this. Good luck.

Welcome to the OCF Forums, Brady.

Waiting is one of the hardest things you have to do, especially when you are dealing with cancer.

I hope you find out more about the game plan soon. We are all here to support you. Chances are there are quite a few of us on these forums who have been in the same place you brother is right now.

This is where you can find encouragement, support, and hope...these are all very important things to have in order to fight the fight!

Please keep coming back and keep us posted.

Take good care,
Kerri

Brady,

It helps us a lot if we know as much about his diagnosis as possible. Then we can provide appropriate answers.
